Bid on eBay to Have Dinner With Sarah Palin!

If you've ever dreamed of hanging out with Sarah Palin — now's your chance. But you'd better break open your piggy bank, because as of the time of this writing, the current eBay bid was $38,666.60 for a private dinner for five. But hey, there's free shipping!

All proceeds will go to Ride2Recovery, which benefits wounded soldiers. I have always found the concept of paying to have dinner with the famous and powerful very strange — if you had the money, would you want to meet her?

If I had the money, would I be willing to have a congenial dinner with someone I often disagree with to raise money for a very deserving charity? Sure. I'm not into this total vilification of political opponents thing.
